Tonight in Seattle our DJ crew is doing PROG! at Mermaid Lounge. We're moving to first and third Wednesdays there. Come through and hear things you won't experience anywhere else in town.
Wrote previews of some June Seattle shows for The Stranger. lowercase; Panic Shack; Sir Richard Bishop & Climax Golden Twins; Ak'chamel & Derek Monypeny.

Call me jaundiced, but I think Backrooms is going to trigger widespread usage of sickly yellow in products (including vehicles), ad design, album cover art, interior decorating, etc. etc.
A few words about Dexter Wansel…
I discovered his music via my friends Spike and Mick Clark as H17 were just starting. His blend of TSOP strings, electronics and soul is one of the greatest influences on my production career.
The album ‘Life On Mars’ shifted the tectonic plates of my musical world
There will never be another like him
Rest in Glory

They just don't make full-service polymaths like Dexter Wansel anymore. Philly soul architect, keyboard master, electronic music pioneer, studio rat, Afrofuturist, prolific songwriter, arranger, and producer. We just lost an undeniable giant.
@KingCountyMetro The 5 and 44 buses have been consistently late by several minutes all year. Yesterday, a SB 5 that was scheduled to hit my stop at 7:15pm didn't arrive till 7:50. Why is this happening?
I wrote this about my dear friend Doug Shaw last year. He died this week, which doesn’t seem possible. In case you want to know more about him—

Walked to the brick-and-mortar record shop and bought the CD of Boards Of Canada's Inferno on its release day, as if it were 1998 or something. Plz RT, @WarpRecords .
@JSiwanowicz Shipping a single 12" record generally costs me $4.47-$5.22. I understand adding a buck or two for packing materials and labor, but $9 is outrageous.
Ginger Baker's “Uncut” from his slept-on, Bill Laswell-produced 1986 banger, Horses And Trees, is an excellent specimen of EBM: Ethno Body Music. Feat Bernie Worrell,Nicky Skopelitis + Shankar going HAM on violin. Might be the cream of Baker's solo career.
